<p>Okay I promised myself that I would not do this, but for some reason I’m really nervous about this application. </p>
<p>I have a 3.65 GPA (it’s unweighted because my HS just doesn’t do weighting), ranked top 10% in my class, attend a really well thought of (albeit chronically underfunded) public charter high school, and have a 33 ACT. I’m taking 4 AP classes this year (that makes 7 total - the standard number for my school) including English Lit, Chem, Gov, and Latin. I’m in my 4th year of Latin, have taken 2 years of Ancient Greek, and a semester of German. </p>
<p>I’ve run cross country for two years, played tennis for one, been in a couple of other clubs, competed on our speech team for three years (advanced to Regionals twice), and I’m a member of NHS.</p>
<p>I know I’m getting great recommendations from my English teacher this year as well as my Bio teacher from last year who is also my class sponsor (I’m a class officer). And my essay is really incredible (that sounds obnoxious, but I’ve let about a dozen people read it and they’ve all raved so I think it’s really good).</p>
<p>My dad holds 3 degrees (BS, MS, MD) from BU and both my brothers have been accepted previously (one’s a freshman there this year). My test scores are about the same as my brothers, but my GPA is a fair bit lower (they were both at about 3.95). </p>
<p>Everyone’s telling me I’m basically a lock (well, as much as anyone can be) based on my application and my status as a legacy student. I’m just really worried - confidence is not always my strong point and I’m terrified that I won’t get into the school most of my family was good enough to attend. Is this just senior year stress combined with a lack of sleep (thank you finals!)? Gah, I feel so ridiculous for freaking out, just looking for some reassurance one way or the other… :o</p>
